| Refinishing brake calipers |
|
Looking to refinish (paint) my brake calipers and brake rotor “hats”. I could do them black or red or any multitude of colours of course, but I would prefer to get back to as close to factory finish / colour as possible. Would anyone know what the factory finish would have been like? Or any pictures from when yours where new - I didn’t take any☹️.
Thanks.
